SHAMEFUL ABUSE
Heaped upon Noted Englishman fol
His Open Honesty.

| trouble for writing the following Oper
letter to the editor of the London Fam
ily Doctor:
81 believe it to be the duty of every
physician to make known any means Oh
remedy whereby sickness can be pre-.
vented, and it is for this purpose write
to give my experience both here and
abroad. I ask the publication OF the
statement that people may be warned be-
fore it is too late, to say to them that
there is at hand a means by which they
may be restored to perfect health. 1t is
we'll known to the medical world, and, in
deed, to the laity, that certain disease
| is making a terrible havoc; that next to
consumption it is the most fatal, and
that when fully developed there is moth
ing to be done for the sufferer.
physicians and scientists have long
been trying to throw light upon the
cause, and, if possible, find in nature a
medicine for this fatal malady. They
have shown, absolutely, that the blood
purifying organs of vital importance are
the kidneys, and that when they once
fail, the poison which they should take
out of the blood is carried by the blood
into every part of the body, developing
disease.
Gin my hospital practice in England,
India and South America, and also while
a surgeon in the Royal Navy Of Great
Britain, gave great deal OF attention
to the study of diseases OF the kidneys
and urinary organs, and found that not
only was the cure of Bright's Disease
hopeless, but that kidney disease was re-
markably prevalent; much more SO than
generally known, and was the cause Of
the majority of cases of sickness, and fur
Their, that the medical profession has no
remedy which exerts any absolute con-
troll over these orgaus in disease.
"Some time ago when / had case
which resisted all regular treatment -
which is very limited complicated with
the passing of stones from the kidneys,
much against my will I permitted my
patient to use Warmers safe cure, of
which I had heard marvellous results.
In his case the result was simply mar
velous, as the attack was a severe one,
and development very grave, for an
analysis showed per cent Of albumen and
granular tube casts.
"The action of the medicine was sing
ular and incomprehensible to me. | had
never seen anything like it. The patient
recovered promptly, and is today we'll
and healthy man. This stimulated my
inquiry into the merits Of the remedy,
and after analysis I found it to be of
purely vegetable character, harmless to
take under all circumstances.
"Casting aside all professional preju-
dice 1 gave it thorough trial, as was
anxious that my patients should be re-
stored to health, no matter by what med
icine. prescribed it in great variety
of cases, Acute, Chronic, Bright's Disease,
Congestion OF the Kidneys, Catarrh Of
the Bladder, and in every instance did it
speedily effect cure.
"For this reason deem it my duty to
give to the world this statement regard
ing the value of Warmers safe cure. I
make this statement on facts / am pre-
pared to produce and substantiate. I
appeal to physicians OF large practice
who know how common and deceptive
diseases of the kidneys are, to lay aside
professional prejudice, give their patients
Warmers safe cure, restore them to per-
feet health, earn their gratitude, and
thus be true physicians.
81 am satisfied that more than one-halt
of the deaths which occur in England
are caused, primarily, by impaired action
of the kidneys, and the consequent re-
tention in the blood of the poisonous
uric and kidney acid. Warmers safe cure
causes the kidneys to expel this poison
checks the escape of albumen, relieves
the inflammation and prevents illness
from impaired and impoverished blood
Having had more than seventeen years
experience in my profession, consci
entiously and emphatically state that
have been able to give more relief, and
effect more cures by the use OF War
ner's safe cure than by all the other med
icines ascertainable to the profession
the majority of which, am sorry to say
are very uncertain in their action"
"Isn't that straightforward, manly
letter."
Indeed it is"
"Well, but do you know the author
has been dreadtully prosecuted for writ
ing it?"
"How so? What has he done TO meri
it?"
"Done? He has spoken the truth on
of school, and his fellow-physicians, whc
want the public to think they have I
monopoly in curing diseases, are terribl!
angry with him for admitting profes
sional inability to reach certain dis
orders"
THAT letter created wonderful sensa
ton among the titled classes and the pub
lie. This Jared the doctors terribly
The College of Surgeons and Queen
College, from which institution he wa
graduated, asked for an explanation o
his unprofessional conduct, and notifies
him that unless he made a retraetiol
they would discipline him.
